NIAF Public Service Announcements

Italian Americans have one thing in common—their remarkable heritage that imprints distinctively on who they are and how their lives have unfolded. Just ask some of America’s most prominent Italian Americans about the influences of their culture and heritage.

To celebrate the positive contributions of Italian Americans, the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is showcasing its public service announcements from recent years, featuring such celebrities as Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, chef Lidia Bastianich, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Danny DeVito, actors Linda Fiorentino and Joe Pantoliano, 12-time MLB All-Star Mike Piazza, E! News Anchor and NIAF board member Giuliana DePandi Rancic, and ESPN’s Tony Reali. They talk about importance of heritage, values and dreams. And growing up Italian American!
